Collaborative interaction

  • Audio-visual interaction (synchronous): Real-time communication using video-conferencing and/or audio communication over a computer network, perhaps using a tool such as Voice Over IP.
  • Graphical interaction (asynchronous): Sharing concepts / ideas by editing still images, plans, diagrams etc in shared, online workspaces that allow collaborators to view and adapt the work in there own time.
  • Graphical interaction (synchronous): Working upon a shared image / plan / diagram collaboratively in real time using a shared image manipulation application.
  • Textual interaction (asynchronous): Communication using text that occurs in one-direction only- for example using an online bulletin board or document store.
  • Textual interaction (synchronous): Two-way textual communication in real time- for example using Internet chat software.
  • Video-based interaction (asynchronous): Non-real-time communication and collaboration involving the viewing and editing of digital video uploaded to a collaborative workspace (perhaps in MPEG format).
